Chapter 486

Because the nuclear reactor is used as the power source, the mobile base does not need to stop and refuel like conventional vehicles, and the crew compartment inside the mobile base ensures that the mobile base can continue to move forward even at night, and the rest of personnel will not affect the operation of the mobile base.

However, although it was night, Chen Xin still did not rest.

On the one hand, the vibration and noise from the car body made him unable to sleep. On the other hand, he was still thinking about Lucia's discovery of the ancient virus.

The existence of ancient viruses has long been confirmed by scientists.

These ancient viruses, which have been buried in the earth for tens of thousands of years, are quite different from all kinds of modern viruses that human beings are facing now. The key point is that all kinds of conventional antibiotics used by human beings have no effect on ancient viruses.

Maybe some people think that modern viruses are more powerful than ancient viruses. The viruses that human beings are facing now are all evolved through the baptism of antibiotics. Modern viruses have nothing to do with human beings. What can ancient viruses do?

Moreover, the virus is adaptive, and it evolves according to the host. It does not match with human. How can it infect human?

Worrying about the ancient virus is nothing more than a groundless worry.

However, these views are totally wrong.

Nowadays, human beings are not afraid of viruses because we have built a complete defense system with antibiotics and modern medicine, which blocks the harm of viruses to human beings from the human body.

In fact, without the protection of modern medical system and the immune system composed of a large number of antibiotics and vaccines, human beings are just weak and pitiful in the face of all kinds of viruses in nature.

Before the disaster, COVID-19 had made human beings most incisive in the performance of the virus. Without modern medical system protection, vulnerable humans could hardly fight highly lethal and spreading viruses, and only bet on the 1/10000 probability of group immunity.

However, even with the protection of modern medical system, it is still very difficult for us to win in the fight against unknown viruses.

The war between human and virus is just a race against death.

The mutation ability of virus is its most powerful weapon. Although modern medical science and technology are changing with each passing day, the mutation of virus has never stopped.

Humans can develop a vaccine against a certain virus, but there will always be new viruses. In this war between humans and viruses, humans are on the defensive and can only defend passively.

And the ancient virus is a new enemy that mankind has never faced.

Fortunately, the extreme cold environment at the end of the day limits the spread of the virus. In addition, the long distance between Yanguo and Lucia physically blocks the way for the virus to enter Yanguo. This makes Yanguo not have to worry about the problem of ancient viruses for the time being, so that Yanguo can have enough time to deal with it calmly.

But this is only temporary. Before the meteorite fall caused global fires, the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers, the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, the Siberian Plateau and other places have been affected. Those ancient viruses buried under ice and snow for thousands of years have been released. It is only a matter of time before their harm and impact will break out.

At present, there is no epidemic situation in China, but it does not mean that there is no worry.

So what Chen Xin is thinking now is how to prevent possible epidemics.

It is not difficult to prevent the invasion of virus. At the beginning of the construction, the government shelters have considered filtering harmful substances in the air. In the case of no accident, the virus can not enter the shelters through air transmission.

And human infection, as long as we can strictly implement the health regulations, do strict prevention, or can resist infection.

But passive defense can't solve the problem. With shield, there must be a spear to attack!

Chen Xin is not a medical scientist or an expert in virus research, but he knows one thing, that is, the most effective way to fight the virus is vaccine!

Vaccine is an automatic immune preparation for preventing infectious diseases, which is made of pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacteria, Rickettsia, virus, etc.) and their metabolites through artificial attenuation, inactivation or transgenic methods.

The vaccine retains the characteristics of the pathogen stimulating the immune system. When the animal comes into contact with the harmless pathogen, the immune system will produce certain protective substances, such as immune hormones, active physiological substances, special antibodies and so on.

Therefore, when animals come into contact with the pathogen again, the immune system of animals will follow its original memory and produce more protective substances to prevent the damage of the pathogen.In order to make a vaccine, the original strain of the virus is essential, and then it has to go through the multi-channel process of attenuation, filtration, animal experiments, human experiments and so on.

According to the normal process of vaccine development, it usually takes more than three to five years, long or even more than ten years for a vaccine to be put into clinical use.

So how to quickly and effectively develop vaccines and shorten the development cycle of vaccines is a very important thing in the process of anti-virus.

Under normal circumstances, even if there is a large amount of investment, it is also a matter that can not get up quickly. After all, there should be no less programs.

However, for Chen Xin, with the support of the system, we can consider manufacturing a kind of equipment that can quickly produce vaccines, and achieve rapid mass production.

This is not very difficult for Chen Xin.

In addition, because of this, Chen Xin turned his attention to medical treatment.

Maybe it's time to make some good medical equipment?

Chen Xin thinks this can be put on the agenda.

I took out a small notebook that I had always carried with me. It was full of various ideas and plans. Some of the things written on it have been realized, some have changed, and some have not been realized.

With the development of medical equipment and vaccine preparation equipment for viruses written in the book, Chen Xin is also thinking about what kind of medical equipment he wants to make.

Manufacturing medical equipment itself is not a difficult task for Chen Xin. Even the medical cabin that can automatically perform surgery and repair human trauma, and the nano robot that can enter the body to kill cancer cells

For Chen Xin, these things are not very difficult to make, but he thinks that compared with all kinds of medical equipment for treatment, A light and compact, and can achieve rapid and accurate detection of the detection instrument is the most should be done out of the things.

After all, most of the time, the difficulty is not how to treat, but how to detect and diagnose in time.

As for what kind of testing instruments should be made, Chen Xin thinks that the three recorders commonly used by Lao Gu in Star Trek are a good choice.
